Latest Updates from Our Project:

THANK YOU

Just after the countdown finished

A sincere thank you to all of you who made this happen. We wanted to let you know that we are humbled and in awe of this support. To know that so many of you pledged to make this product a reality is inspiring. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work on shipping Vue!

Tiantian and Jason are flying back to our office in China tomorrow morning to continue work on preparing Vue for manufacturing. There are design improvements to make as well as some exciting design for manufacturing activities in the near future as we begin to work with contract manufacturers to ramp up for production. Expect regular updates from the team to highlight progress, technical information, and any challenges along the way.

Again, we extend our gratitude to all of our backers for believing in this project. We're excited to get to work!

Hey backers! As always, thank you for your support. We've just hit our latest stretch goal of $1.2M. That means we've unlocked the Kickstarter exclusive temple piece as well as optional nose pads.

Kickstarter Exclusive Design

The design with the most votes was the Green Marble temple piece. This will now be another option exclusively for Kickstarter backers to choose from among the existing colors already listed on the main campaign page. See the image below!

Stretch goal survey results

In addition to the temple piece, we're evaluating nose pads. This will be an optional accessory that backers can add to their order in the post-campaign survey, at no additional cost.

Events

We've still been making sure to get out in the local community to demonstrate the Vue prototypes. Check out some of our photos from two recent events: Wearable World and the HAX hardware meetup in San Francisco!

10 days left!

Time flies! We are so thankful for the support and are excited to see where the campaign goes from here.

Wow!

What an amazing first few days. Our deepest thanks to all of you for carrying us past our $50,000 goal in a matter of hours on Day 1! We have since passed the $100,000 mark and are rising even higher.

Here's the team celebrating the moment we hit our goal!

Stretch Goals

We're happy to announce our first stretch goals. First, we'll be including a microfiber lens cloth with each order upon reaching $200,000. We've also been hearing from a lot of you that you'd like to see anti-glare and scratch resistant coatings on your lenses. Our second stretch goal of $500,000 will ensure that all our lenses will come with anti-glare and anti-scratch coatings! See the image below, which we will be adding to our main campaign page.

Help us hit these stretch goals by telling your friends about the campaign!

Again, thanks and gratitude to everyone who has backed the campaign so far. Stay tuned for the next update!

You did it again!

Thanks to everyone’s support, we’ve flown by our second stretch goal. This is a great threshold you've helped us cross, as it means that all lenses will come with complimentary anti-glare and anti-scratch coatings!

New Stretch Goals

There have been a lot of great suggestions about potential stretch goals. We’re taking these suggestions into account and will be announcing the new stretch goal in the coming week. Stay tuned!

Press Roundup

We had an awesome piece come out from Mike Elgan of ComputerWorld, who met us to try on Vue personally. Check that out here:

New York City Hardware Meetup

This is a little last second, but Aaron will be attending a hardware meetup in NYC tonight! If you are around and can make it, swing by to hear Aaron give a brief talk about Vue! Details are here.

Wow—thank you to everyone who has believed in this campaign. This is an incredible milestone for us, and one that we are so happy to have reached. With so many of you on board, we can't wait to get Vue into your hands! There is still a lot of time left in the campaign, but we wanted to take a quick break to let you all know how much this means to us.
